Third reading votes to change special fire tax district
['Dick Mangrum']
101.7 WGOG
The squabbles between the Corinth-Shiloh special fire tax district and a group of disgruntled former volunteers might be resolved through a process of mediation.
101.7/WGOG NEWS has learned from spokesmen on both sides that attorneys are advising the choice of a mediator.
The Oconee County Council chairman commented as he successfully motioned to make changes at final reading of the ordinance that created the Corinth-Shiloh special district, following a referendum of the voters inside the service territory.
But Durham’s move for Oconee County Council to reappoint the existing five-member board was challenged by Corinth-Shiloh residents.
Corinth-Shiloh residents who voted in the referendum said they cast their votes under the promise that, following the initial appointments of the first five-member board, they’d get to decide future board membership in popular elections.
